With over 20,000,000 standard options and more than 60 years of experience, NORD’s drive solutions for packaging are smart, reliable, and cost-effective.

Complete drive solutions from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS are engineered to provide increased operational efficiency for packaging processes. These systems are maintenance-friendly and highly configurable, with worldwide engineering and service teams to assist with selection, configuration, and aftermarket support. NORD's ability to provide a complete drive solutions consisting of a gear unit, electric motor, and variable frequency drive from a single source also saves customers time, money, and effort. All drive components are modular and can be configured to meet specific application requirements without the need for costly custom components - allowing seamless integration into existing machines and production processes.

Hygienic Drives for Safe Processing and Cleaning
Food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other hygiene-sensitive products require specialized drive systems to minimize contamination, while being flexible enough to operate at varying loads and speeds. Because to this, drive systems used in these applications must be easy to clean as well as resistant to chemical cleaning agents and other potential contamination sources. NORD's aluminum housings provide inherent corrosion protection while also offering a lightweight, compact solution with high heat conductivity, reducing the maximum surface temperature. Smooth surface motors with Protection Class IP66 combined with aluminum gear units provide a wash-down solution capable of withstanding harsh cleaning processes to keep product safe.

The Key to Precise Positioning
Position accuracy is also an extremely important for packaging processes. Electronic control products from NORD feature POSICON integrated positioning mode and synchronous operation for high precision pick and place, filling, sealing, and labelling, ensuring there is no waste while giving products the best possible appearance for distribution or sale. NORD's electronic control products can also be utilized for conveying, pushing, and rotating product between processing and packaging steps. Vertically and horizontally networked technology with all options for sensor incorporation into the higher-level control system make NORD drive systems extremely versatile and allows for Condition Monitoring for Predictive Maintenance systems to be easily put into place.

Decentralized Drive Technology for End-of-Line Packaging
Drives with centrally controlled servo motors are common in end-of-line packaging. However, in applications with large inertia or long travel distances, such as palletizing, stabilizing, strapping, wrapping, or other material handling methods, they are usually not necessary. With solutions combining decentralized drive electronics and asynchronous motors, NORD provides end-of-line packaging systems with cost-effective, efficient alternatives to centrally controlled concepts. Motor-mounted variable frequency drives free the drive system of complex wiring, significantly reducing installation and maintenance efforts. Decentralized drives also achieve similar kinematic properties and higher internal inertia, ensuring regulation of motion control even with heavy loads.

LogiDrive® Complete Drive Solution
LogiDrive is NORD's complete drive solution that utilizes a standardized, service-friendly system to significantly reduce planning and commissioning time. There are basic and advanced versions available for adaptation to a variety of applications. Basic drives include a gear unit, efficient IE3 electric motor, and variable frequency drive with a focus on cost effectiveness. Advanced versions feature a compact gear unit, high-efficiency IE5+ synchronous motor, and variable frequency drive that address issues such as energy efficiency, variant reduction, and reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Packaging processes require a high level of performance, flexibility, and cost efficiency. NORD's modular drive systems offer solutions for all types of packaging, strapping, palletizing, and conveying machinery, with localized support teams to assist you over the lifecycle of your drives.
